Comments:
This is a fun compilation, it doesn't have a lot of extended remixes
like the first disc in this series, but it does have "White Lines (Don't Do
It)" which is great, since no one seems to ever include that. Most of these
tunes were minor hits, with the exception of maybe 3 songs though, none of
them were huge hits. If you liked new wave in the eighties though, this is a
great disc since it picks up what all the other discs all leave off. Unlike
other discs that tend to just throw anything on to sell one or two of the
other songs on the disc, this one actually sounds like a playlist of a
new wave station in the early eighties (not everything was popular).
